I'm having a pretty rough time this year with school starting. Elizabeth is starting Kindergarten, so I won't have anyone home with me anymore!!!!

I'm sure others are feeling the same way, so I was hoping we could post about the POSITIVES of school starting to help us feel better.

- They will have fun at school.- Cooler weather will be on the way.- I can go shopping without any "helpers".- The house will stay cleaner.- We can get back on a schedule, which will make cooking/eating healthier.

I'm really looking forward to a cleaner house. My SO and I just had this discussion this weekend. He is ready for them to go back. He told me that he is ready for a vacation or more than just an hour a day where he can do something without having to clean up a mess that mysteriously just appeared. (No one ever knows how it happened.)

-They are going to learn so much.- They will have fun and experience so much this year.

Me 33, DD - O 13, DS1 -J 8, DS2 - Cr 6, DS3 - Co 5, DD2 - E (11/10)

Thanks for your Reply!

My almost-3 year old seriously needs a break from his bossy big sister! So hopefully some sibling harmony will be coming up. I miss having just my little guy and I knocking around together so it will b e nice to have that back. Also, I don't know about you guys but DD has spent the ENTIRE summer asking me questions non-stop...I'm happy to send her to another adult to quiz for awhile!

I have such mixed emotions this year about the boys going back to school. It is strange to me. We had a great summer. I am ready for a schedule yet will miss our summer. It has been fun.

-The boys are very ready for the challenge at school-The boys need a break from each other and to have their own friends ect.-My house needs some attention /organization and I will have a bit of time to do that before my PT job starts in Sept.-I could take 2 classes in a row at the gym! (I could if I wanted haha!)-We will start a new school with new adventures and we are all a little excited and nervous-I can apply for more jobs and go to interviews without having to get a sitter. But all that said the house will be quiet

Me (43) 2 busy boys 7 yrs and 6 yrs
